    Abstract: A method for verifying a write operation in a memory cell (e.g., a non-volatile memory cell) that includes performing a first read operation of the memory cell to measure a first current associated with the memory cell and comparing the measured first current associated with the memory cell to a first predetermined threshold current to determine whether the write operation changed the state of the memory cell. If the measured first current associated with the memory cell indicates the write operation did change the state of the memory cell the method further includes performing a second read operation of the memory cell to measure a second current associated with the memory cell and comparing the measured second current associated with the memory cell to a second predetermined threshold current to determine whether the write operation changed the state of the memory cell to the desired state or an intermediate state.

    Abstract: Memory devices and methods of repairing a memory are provided. A first array includes normal memory cells, and a second array includes repair memory cells. The repair memory cells are configured to be used in place of the normal memory cells. A look-up table comprises memory bitcells configured to store a set of entries including addresses of defective memory cells of the normal memory cells. A match circuit is configured to evaluate whether an input memory address is stored as a defective address in the memory bitcells. The match circuit is also configured to generate a selection signal for selecting the normal memory cells or the repair memory cells based on the evaluation.
